Here is a usage guide for it:
- Getting ready:
Before starting, make sure the car and the charger are both off.

Find the battery’s positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Attach the Genius10’s red clamp to the battery’s positive connector. Attach the black clamp to the vehicle’s frame’s appropriate ground point or the negative terminal.

Disconnect the device and get advice from an expert or the handbook if you notice any strange behavior, such as excessive heat or strange noises. - Finishing the Charge:
Unplug the charger from the outlet as soon as the battery is fully charged, as shown by the LED lights. - Cutting the Charger Off:
First, take out the black clamp from the grounding point or negative terminal. Next, remove the red clamp from the terminal that is positive. - Following Charging:
Until you need it again, keep the Genius10 somewhere dry and secure. Verifying the battery’s voltage to make sure it’s fully charged is a good idea. - Regarding Extended Maintenance:
It is possible to leave the Genius10 plugged in to the battery for a long time. In order to maintain the battery at the best possible charge, it will enter maintenance mode.
